Came here to say that. I live in a third world country where the prices are jacked up by import duties and what not. If I have to get this phone I have to almost pay 38% of the phone's amount in taxes but as someone who have always wanted to get an iPhone because let's face it everyone once in their life wants one especially in India. I want to thank Ritchie for the absolutely detailed camera review and the performance review because if I am going to spend this amount I would want to know everything. That camera sample image comparison was absolutely what I needed. Again, thank you for putting out such a detailed review.. Subscribed.

Rene’s review is comprehensive, and shows his deep understanding of the industry and the trends of products as always. One of the most impressive part is the mentioning of Google’s implementation of its ‘3D Touch’. As a Pixel user, from what I know, this is a very tiny feature in the last feature drop and don’t really appear except for a few Reddit threads. As a Apple reviewer, Rene’s comparison showed his great understanding and knowing details really well in the industry. This review isn’t the general overview or unboxing as some other reviewers do. It’s been a pleasure watching your informative reviews. Well done!

Been a fan of you since the iPhone blog. Good for you for going out on your own! Best of luck Rene!

I preordered mine this past Monday upgrading from a 7 plus. Excellent review Rene!

Excellent review; it tells me everything I need to know. I went from the iPhone 4 to the SE; I like the form factor and the SE 2020 is the closest I’ll get to that. It’s the right price point and the improve performance is more than satisfactory for my needs.

Please tell me, I literally cannot think of why you would need that huge of a storage on a phone. Thanks!

A X is a maybe, if you never got used to FaceID or gestures then you could switch back even if you do have an 11, if you do have an 11 though and you got used to the gestures and FaceID then I do not recommend it, if you have an X it’s a maybe but if you have an X you are losing on that OLED, dual camera, FaceID, 1080p display, bezelless design etc, but if you really don’t care about that and all you care about is Software support and price then go for it

Hello Rene, I really appreciate that you put the time tags for each of the points you talked about in the video. Also great review and overall covering what's most important for us, the regular humans :) I won't be getting it anytime soon because I'm still rocking an iPhone 6s, which still holds up and does everything I need to do everyday. But sometime later, maybe in a year or something, if this one starts failing or maybe there's a big discount for the SE (which I guess will happen), I'd be happy to get it. Thanks again, and hope you're holding up well!

So nice to hear how the phone operates instead of all the specs.... good job!!

I died when I saw it in the water 💀

Great work Rene! I will say that I'm looking forward to my SE arriving Friday. I traded in my Xr because it's just too big for my pocket and hands, for me it's all about ergonomics. I also like the fact that I'll be able to text or swipe type one handed much easier.
